My Favourite Things To Do

Being a lover of poetry so much
but good to make time for other things
variety they say is the spice of life
enjoy real satisfaction for what it brings

I've always been a great lover of books
so I still love a really good read
whether history, bio or Christian thought
obviously, poetry inspires me up to speed

Walking is something I love to do 
especially among nature colours so clear
among the woods branches and twigs
has such effect to inspire all that's near

Music has always been a love of mine
tastes have changed over the years
at one time in my 20s, punk was my thing
now latterly classical soothes all my fears

In all of this, I've enjoyed variety
brings joy to my life fort each day
so good being alive whatever our years
enjoying these pastimes hoping to stay

(This is a piece to describe what hobbies/pastimes fill my life other than poetry.)

Thank you for opening a window into your life, Gordon. Those things that interest you sound like they've kept you well balanced. I enjoy walking alone. It's provides time to think.

Perhaps Julie Andrews could sing this if it had an accompanying melody.
